Will the wheel hub assembly from a 1974 with 35mm forks fit a 1972 with 32mm forks?  I'm making up a set of wheels for my 72 but would like them to also fit onto 35mm forks when I upgrade the forks at a later time.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
 I just changed out my 32 mm on a 73 Sixdays for 35 mm forks.
I had to  make a brake backing plate anchor but the hub does work. The axle is a different length so use a lathe to modify my axle and had to add a spacer on one side. The width between the fork legs where the hub rides, is greater on the 35 mm.
